  A well planned, interesting and varied excursion which included a short ride on the river to the base of the Kiver Kwai bridge as well as the train ride along Hellfire Pass. A though provoking experience due to the nature of the history it entailed but very worthwhile nonetheless. The short time spent at the well maintained cemetery to remember all the brave personnel who had lost their lives was much appreciated.

  We had a great day with Jill and our driver. Only 2 of us on the tour, so it was basically a private one. Good mix of things to do during the day, although there is a fair bit of driving involved due to the distance to the sites from our central Bangkok Hotel. The air-conditioned bus was a godsend in the 35 degree C heat. Jill had everything very well organised and was able to answer all our questions regarding the tour and Thai culture. Very moving to visit the war cemetery, the Australian museum and Hellfire pass itself. Would highly recommend this tour, with this company.

  This tour was with Amazing Asia Tours and our guide was Ken. We could not have asked for a better guide. He was very knowledgeable, patient and attentive throughout the day. The tour itself was excellent, and Ken gave us plenty of time at each stop to view, learn and reflect about what went on here in WW2. I highly recommend this tour

  Amazing service from start to finish. It's a 12 hour day with a 7 am start but worth every minute. Our guide Oh was extremely knowledgeable & helpful throughout . Also our driver (whose name escapes me) was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. Around a 2.5 hour drive out of Bangkok to Kanchanburi & the Jeath Museum, then on to the War Cemetery & the River Kwai bridge - we had plenty of time to walk across - following that was a 1 hour train ride on the death railway itself (over the bridge) followed by a great lunch at a local restaurant. Another 45 minute drive from there to Hellfire Pass which was another wonderful (if harrowing) experience. Last stop was a visit to a waterfall. Then a 3 hour drive back into Bangkok. Chilled water was available all day in the vehicle. Overall an excellent experience. Highly recommended.

  Our guide, Ken, gave us a fantastic day. He made sure we got the best seats, visited the different places when there were as few others present as possible. He made sure we had the best possible all the time. He is has great knowledge of the area and the events that happened there! The tour started at 7:00 and lasted until 19:00. It was a few hours in the car, but it was good to have some time to rest between the strokes. We visited a war museum/captive camp, walked over the Kwai bridge, visited a memorial, took a train ride, had a fantastic lunch, visited the Hellfire pass and a waterfall. Ken always made sure we had the best possible! If you have the slightest interest in WW2 or not, we recommend this day’s trip from Bangkok. Hello Egil

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

• An outstanding day including a visit to the Bridge over the River Kwai.

  This was a very comprehensive tour, starting at 6:30am until 6:15pm. Which included the Jeath museum in kanchanaburi, walking across the Bridge over the River Kwai, the war cemetery, riding the train along the ‘death railway’, a buffet lunch, visiting the Hell Fire Pass and Interpretive Centre, and Namtoksaiyoknoi water falls. The tour guide ‘Ken’ and driver ‘Sake’ were quite outstanding. They constantly went the extra mile, booking widows seats on the correct side of the train, providing a golf cart to take us down to the Hells Pass and ensuring we had a fantastic day.

• Excellent Factual WWll Tour

  Firstly this is an all day trip but there is time to rest on the 2 hour drive back on the early evening. Take a hat, sunscreen and good trainers or walking sandals. I booked for me and my wife who has no knowledge of this historical peice of engineering and its sad significance along with Hell Fire Pass and the Thai/Burma railway in general, so I was sceptical she would enjoy the day. I am a Veteran myself and do like Military history so this was a no brainer for me to visit whilst in Thailand. Ken the guide was great and you can see his passion for the Veterans that helped build this and the suffering they endured. The JEATH Museum is very old and unkempt but still has a small amount of items recovered from mainly the camps POWs were kept. The bridge over the river Kwai itself was fantastic and to walk across knowing the blood sweat and tears it took to build this bought it home to think that at the time there was nothing but jungle that surrounded it unlike the buildings today. The ride of the train as well on which is just a very small part of it also makes you realise how much track was laid. The wooden bridge also is an amazing feat of engineering foe back in the day. A meal is laid on after the wooden bridge which was great and there were drinks supplied by Ken in the vehicle which are kept cooled. Lastly was Kanchanburi CWGC Cemetery. Having visited previous ones in Normandy and Belgium I knew what to expect but it blew my Wife away with how well kept it is. My wife enjoyed the trip thankfully saying that she was glad she done it amd did now knew about what happened in the Far East and South Asia during WWll. If you do like your Molitary History and even if you have no knowledge of the Thai/Burma railway this trip is for anybody and I would defjnately recommend.

  This was a wonderful and sobering experience. We loved the private tour because we beat the crowds who took the train from Bangkok yet we were able to ride the train for an hour and the driver picked us up at the train stop. Because we drove, we had plenty of time to see everything. The JEATH museum, the cemetery, the bridge, train ride to one of the cuts, the hellfire pass museum and even the waterfall at the national park.

  We had a fantastic experience with Ken, our guide, and Mr Yoon, our driver. The day began at the JEATH War Museum, followed by a visit to the River Khwae Bridge — we arrived at the perfect time, just before it became busy. We then spent some time at the Kanchanaburi War Cemetery, which was very moving, and it was comforting to see how well the graves are preserved. Next, we took a train ride along the Death Railway for just over an hour, seated in excellent spots where we could get a good view of the wooden bridge. During the journey, Ken surprised us with a beautiful bookmark featuring our photo on the train — taken by the lovely female railway staff member who had also been handing out water and cake to passengers. Lunch was served at a local restaurant with a wonderful view of the wooden bridge. Afterward, we visited the Hellfire Pass Interpretive Centre and walked the Memorial Trail. It was incredible to see, though deeply sad, and left a lasting effect. We finished off with a stop at Saiyoknoi Water Fall. Overall, it was a full 12 hour day from start to finish, but I can’t think of a single part I would remove to make it shorter. A big thank you again to Ken, whose incredible knowledge of the history behind each stop made the experience even more meaningful and to Mr Yoon for his very comfortable vehicle.
